Former Cranston Mayor Steve Laffey announced he will not run for Governor in 2010.  This news shocked me, since he would have been the favorite for the nomination, and only one other Republican, Joseph Trillo, has expressed interest in running.  In related news, Lincoln Chafee is considering running as an independent.
